A comfortable country villa with very good access, in a peaceful environment, with gardens and wonderful views.  Possibility of converting the lower floor, of 116m2, into further accommodation.

Located in the hilly countryside around the hamlet of Rubite, below Canillas de Aceituno, this lovely home is within 25 minutes of the beach at Torre del Mar, 15 minutes from Viñuela, 10 minutes from Canillas de Aceituno and 20 minutes from the historic town of Velez-Malaga.

Access is very good, with only a few metres of very good dirt track to reach it.  The house borders the country lane on one side, and faces magnificent country and mountain views. 

The plot consists of 1600m2 of land, which although sloping, has a good flat area that is accessed via steps to one side, and a terrace garden area with a huge covered area on the upper level.  There is a gated entrance to one side of the house with slope leading down to a lockable garage.

The main house, 157m2, is on one single level, and level with the country lane.  From the arched covered porch to the front, the front door leads into a hallway/corridor (6 x 2m).  To the left, are the two double bedrooms (3.5x3m, 3.5m x 3m) and at the far end, the master bedroom (4 x 3.5m) with hot and cold air conditioning and an ensuite bathroom (2 x 1.7m).  Also at the far end is the guest bathroom (2 x 1.25m).  To the right of the hallway is the kitchen, fully fitted, (4 x 2.5m) and with two windows, (to the front and side of the house).  Next door is the living/dining room (7 x 4m) with woodburner fireplace and hot and cold air conditioning.  From the living room a door leads out to a large terrace (6 x 4m) with excellent views, the perfect outdoor dining and relaxing area.

From the terrace, steps lead down to the property gates and the ramp and parking area.  Steps to the side lead down to the lower garden area, with a large paved area, wrapping around the lower level of the house.  Here, there is the lockable garage (6 x 4m), with plenty of space for a large car and store/workshop area to one side.  The covered terrace in front of the lower facade of the house covers an area of 10 x 3m, and from here is access to the lower level of the building.  This consists of an area of 116m2, with windows, ideal for anyone who wishes to adapt it to make a separate living unit, apartments, or maybe combining a living unit with a large workshop.  

To the far side, the open terrace wraps around the side of the house, the perfect area for an above ground pool.  In front of this area is the jacuzzi hot tub, for several people.  Steps behind this area lead down to the lower gardens with plenty of fruit trees and flowering shrubs and bushes, plus grapevines.

This lovely property is ideal for anyone who wishes to have a comfortable, easy to maintain home in the country, not too far from the coast and not too high in the mountains. It is also ideal for anyone looking for  second living unit, perhaps to rent, or for a family member.
